Lyrics
Black Thumbnail
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My cold, cold sailor heart, says: Get on your way!
I ain't too proud to say, but that's how I'm made
I'll be that person 'til my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
From runways to the road, I ramble alone
This thumbnail size of heart is as black as coal
Though beauty it still brings me to my knees
Don't waste a tear on me, it's my disease
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
Those preppy boys in blue, they're makin' fun of us
So we take it to the street, because we're an ornery curse
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to come ground with the tumbleweed
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
(Now guitar, go get her!)
Don't take these boots off me when you think I'm dead
I'll still be running from the demon in my head
I'll be that person 'til my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
(Don't leave now, go get her!)
